HR 3509 United States House · 119th Congress

Supporting Our Surviving Spouses Act

This bill removes the statute of limitations for certain survivor benefit claims against the U.S. Government. It specifically applies to survivors of military members who died in the line of duty on or after September 11, 2001. The key change amends federal law to state that no time limit applies when filing for survivor benefits under this provision. The bill takes effect for claims filed after its enactment date.
